Answer:

Water.

Explanation:

To know which of the substance that will absorbed the greatest amount of thermal energy, we'll simply determine the amount of energy absorbed by each substance.

This is illustrated below:

For Air:

Mass (M) = 1 kg

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 15 °C

Specific heat capacity (C) = 1.01 KJ/Kg°C

Heat Absorbed (Q) =..?

Q = MCΔT

Q = 1 x 1.01 x 15

Q = 15.15 KJ

Therefore, the heat absorbed by air is 15.15 KJ.

For Plastic:

Mass (M) = 1 kg

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 15 °C

Specific heat capacity (C) = 2.60 KJ/Kg°C

Heat Absorbed (Q) =..?

Q = MCΔT

Q = 1 x 2.60 x 15

Q = 39 KJ

Therefore, the heat absorbed by plastic is 39 KJ.

For Water:

Mass (M) = 1 kg

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 15 °C

Specific heat capacity (C) = 4.18 KJ/Kg°C

Heat Absorbed (Q) =..?

Q = MCΔT

Q = 1 x 4.18 x 15

Q = 62.7 KJ

Therefore, the heat absorbed by water is 62.7 KJ.

For Wood:

Mass (M) = 1 kg

Change in temperature (ΔT) = 15 °C

Specific heat capacity (C) = 1.68 KJ/Kg°C

Heat Absorbed (Q) =..?

Q = MCΔT

Q = 1 x 1.68 x 15

Q = 25.2 KJ

Therefore, the heat absorbed by Wood is 25.2 KJ.

Summary:

Substance >>>>> Heat Absorbed

Air >>>>>>>>>>>> 15.15 KJ.

Plastic >>>>>>>>> 39 KJ

Water >>>>>>>>>> 62.7 KJ

Wood >>>>>>>>>> 25.2 KJ.

From the above calculations, we can see that water will absorb the greatest amount of thermal energy.

In an LC circuit at one time the charge stored by the capacitor is 10 mC and the current is 3.0 A. If the frequency of the circu
Ronch [10]

Answer:

i_2=3.61\ A

Explanation:

<u>LC Circuit</u>

It's a special circuit made of three basic elements: The AC source, a capacitor, and an inductor. The charge, current, and voltage are oscillating when there is an interaction between the electric and magnetic fields of the elements. The following variables will be used for the formulas:

q, q_1, q_2 = charge of the capacitor in any time t, t_1, t_2

q_o = initial charge of the capacitor

\omega=angular frequency of the circuit

i, i_1, i_2 = current through the circuit in any time t, t_1, t_2

The charge in an LC circuit is given by

q(t) = q_0 \, cos (\omega t )

The current is the derivative of the charge

\displaystyle i(t) = \frac{dq(t)}{dt} = - \omega q_0 \, sin(\omega t).

We are given

q_1=10\ mc=0.01\ c, i_1=3\ A,\ q_2=6\ mc=0.006\ c\ ,\ f=\frac{1000}{4\pi}

It means that

q(t_1) = q_0 \, cos (\omega t_1 )=q_1\ .......[eq 1]

i(t_1) = - \omega q_0 \, sin(\omega t_1)=i_1.........[eq 2]

From eq 1:

\displaystyle cos (\omega t_1 )=\frac{q_1}{q_0}

From eq 2:

\displaystyle sin(\omega t_1)=-\frac{i_1}{\omega q_0}

Squaring and adding the last two equations, and knowing that

sin^2x+cos^2x=1

\displaystyle \left ( \frac{q_1}{q_0} \right )^2+\left ( \frac{i_1}{\omega q_0} \right )^2=1

Operating

\displaystyle \omega^2q_1^2+i_1^2=\omega^2q_o^2

Solving for q_o

\displaystyle q_o=\frac{\sqrt{\omega^2q_1^2+i_1^2}}{\omega}

Now we know the value of q_0, we repeat the procedure of eq 1 and eq 2, but now at the second time t_2, and solve for i_2

\displaystyle \omega^2q_2^2+i_2^2=\omega^2q_o^2

Solving for i_2

\displaystyle i_2=w\sqrt{q_o^2-q_2^2}

Now we replace the given values. We'll assume that the placeholder is a pi for the frequency, i.e.

\displaystyle f=\frac{1}{4\pi}\ KHz

w=2\pi f=500\ rad/s

\displaystyle q_o=\frac{\sqrt{(500)^2(0.01)^2+3^2}}{500}

q_0=0.01166\ c

Finally

\displaystyle i_2=500\sqrt{0.01166^2-.006^2}

i_2=5\ A

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP BEFORE MY TEACHER AND MY MOM KILLES ME PLEASE ASAP
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

As you know, the denser objects have more weight per unit of volume, this will mean that the force that pulls down these objects is a bit larger.

This will mean that the denser objects will always go to the bottom.

This clearly implies that the red liquid, the one with one of the smaller densities, can not be at the bottom.

There are some cases where a liquid with a small density may become a lot denser as the temperature or pressure changes, and in a case like that, we could see the red liquid at the bottom, but for this case, there is no mention of changes in the temperature nor in the pressure, so this can be discarded.

The only thing that makes sense is that the red part at the bottom is the base of the tube, and has nothing to do with the red liquid.

a fast charged particle passes perpendicularly through a thin glass sheet of index of refraction 1.5. The particle emits light i
NeX [460]

The minimum speed of the particle is the Speed of light in glass is c/μ=2×108m/s.

<h3>Why is the refractive index important?</h3>

The higher the refractive index the slower the light travels, which causes a correspondingly increased change in the direction of the light within the material. What this means for lenses is that a higher refractive index material can bend the light more and allow the profile of the lens to be lower.

Refractive index values are usually determined at standard temperature. A higher temperature means the liquid becomes less dense and less viscous, causing light to travel faster in the medium.
